No Comments Featured Engagement

We are delighted to feature the engagement photos of Gurjit and Arif by Alexandra Hunt Photography. The photo shoot took place in the historic village of Fort Langley, British Columbia. Photographed in the backdrop of an abandoned train station, a leafy grove, as well as a walk (and a twirl or two) along the Fraser River, Gurjit and Arif make for an adorable couple.

Did you check out that stunning Tacori-setting engagement ring?! Welove Gurjit’s style – her gorgeous purple sheath dress is perfectly paired with sparkly heels. On photographing the lovely couple, Alexandra says, “Gurjit and Arif are two of the funniest and happiest people I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. The couple is head over heels about each other – and it shows!”

Bursting with personality, infusing Indian + American cultures, and combining contemporary with vintage, the wedding of Shalou and Eric is an ample dose of fun and flair. When Suzi of Q Weddings shared the pictures from this unique Indian wedding, I was ecstatic and could not help admiring the careful attention to detail, and the modern aesthetic of this wedding. I love how the couple’s personalities shine through in every element of this wedding.

Bride and her girls “just wanna have fun”

Today we are featuring a charming bridal photo shoot of Aisha and her bridesmaids. Aisha Khan, the gorgeous bride and creator of Ama Photography, got together for a super fun day with her three beautiful bridesmaids. She asked her most trusted second photographer from Revi Photography to capture the delightful day. The result, super stylish and lively photos of the bride and her girls.

When I asked Aisha about the photo shoot, she exclaimed, “These girls really are my best friends! In addition to sticking with me through thick and thin, as most families do, they are responsible, funny, creative, strong, smart, caring, outgoing, and empowering women. I wanted the shots to reflect our personality as a group. Needless to say, we had lots of fun!”

Aisha wanted the dresses to be elegant and simple. She designed the dresses herself, and got them custom made with her mother-in-law’s help in Pakistan. I love the stylish sage green outfits, and how zardozi embroidery has been used sparingly, albeit tastefully. The very classic kundan jewelry are perfect accessories for this photo shoot. The Heights Villa makes for a wonderful venue and the props look super fun too!

New York Wedding: Indian + Norwegian extravaganza at The Plaza

My jaw dropped when I first looked at the stunning pictures of Pooja and Nils’ wedding by photographer, Roberto Falck . Held in the breathtaking backdrop of The Plaza, this cross cultural wedding extravaganza was designed by none other than the celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera.

Pooja looked gorgeous in her hand stitched emerald, red, and fuchsia lehenga during the ceremony, and beautiful in the white bridal gown that she changed into for the reception. Nils looked very handsome in a navy tux. Like everything in this wedding, the jewels fabulous! I can’t get my eyes off the royal polki diamond necklace and earrings that Pooja paired with both her ceremony and wedding outfits.  

The Plaza, which is a national historic landmark and is widely referenced in pop culture, is a dream-come-true wedding venue. Every detail of this wedding is lush, luxurious, and iconic:  the ceremony mandap embellished with countless roses, opulent floral crystal candelabra centerpieces, a spectacular chandelier made completely with gorgeous blooms, and a majestic topiary elephant at the helm of the reception.

Pooja and Nils wedding affair was one-of-a-kind, stylish, and beyond breathtaking festive affair. Most importantly, they look very happy celebrating every minute of it. Here is wishing them a happily ever after!

A big thank you to Roberto Falck Photography for sharing the gorgeous images from Pooja and Nils wedding.

Sabah and Amir: Houston Engagement Shoot

1 Comment Featured Engagement, Wedding Photography

We are so excited to feature the engagement shoot of Sabah and Amir, photographed by Aisha Khan of Ama Photography & Cinema. Sabah and Amir are college sweethearts, and met while volunteering at a Muslim Interscholastic tournament. When Amir asked Sabah, “Sabah, will you marry me?”, she jokingly replied by saying, “Hmmm, I’ll think about it and let you know!”

Both Sabah and Amir come from a rich cultural background, which is a great mix of East and West. They both have been in Houston since their early years, and chose the Public Park and Stage Theater in the city for their photo shoot. I love how they decided to go for day and night pictures, and decided to go with two completely different looks.

Thank you Aisha for sharing this beautiful engagement shoot with our readers!
